Autumn is the time when we're excited to start cooking up fall family favorites. It's also the time when we begin thinking about holiday entertaining. Cooking classes at the Farmers Market have been so popular, that with the cooperation of Chef Laskody and Chef Fouros, we're continuing them right into December, with wonderful menus to address both great home cooking and fabulous entertaining. Advance registration is required. Classes take place Wednesdays from 9:30am to 12:30pm. This opportunity to learn techniques and tricks from the best, is $25 per person and well worth it. The aromas alone are heavenly.
The two classes below are taught by Chef Skip Laskody, to register: 910-352-5326 or skipdachef@hotmail.com
